But you still have to init/set your Game object with all these args somehow on
the client side, right?  IMHO a more apt comparison is this:

game = Game( *manyArgs )
client.callRemote( "send_game", game )

triggering the server to:
game = reconstituteGame( game )

vs.

client.callRemote( "create_game", *manyArgs )

triggering the server to:
game = Game( *manyArgs )


IMHO the second is cleaner and less error prone.
